Sweet Staples
Bread: Soaks up the pineapple mixture, creating a soft yet slightly textured stuffing. Use fresh white bread, or try sourdough for a more tangy stuffing.
Sweet & Fruity Touches: Crushed pineapple and sugar add that natural sweetness and moisture for an irresistibly rich dish.
Binders: Eggs and butter provide structure and flavor, plus creates a luscious texture. Use butter, not margarine, for best flavor.
Flavor Enhancers: Vanilla extract, cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice (optional) add warmth and depth to compliment the sweet pineapple.
Tasty Twists
- Add chopped pecans or walnuts for a delightful crunch.
- Sprinkle in shredded coconut for a tropical flavor.
- Toss in raisins for an even sweeter touch.
- Reduce the sugar and mix in crumbled bacon or diced ham for a salty-sweet combo.
How To Make Pineapple Stuffing
- Mix melted butter, sugar, eggs, vanilla, and crushed pineapple in a bowl.
- Gently fold in cubed bread until coated and pour into a greased baking dish.
- Bake (as directed below)
Stuffing Secrets
- Gently fold the bread mixture until just combined to keep a light and fluffy texture.
- Do not overbake. The top should be golden, but the inside should stay moist and tender.
- Brush the top with melted butter before placing in the oven for rich flavor and a crispy top.
To Save And Savor Again
Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container, or wrapped with plastic wrap, in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Cooled stuffing can be wrapped with plastic wrap, in an airtight container, or in freezer bags for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Reheat in the oven at 300°F for 10-15 minutes or microwave for 30-60 seconds for a quick fix.
